SA Electrician provides professional solar detach and reset services in San Antonio, TX, ensuring that your solar energy system is safely removed, securely stored, and accurately reinstalled.
Our team is experienced in working with all major panel brands and mounting systems. We follow a detailed process that protects your panels, preserves your system warranty, and ensures full reactivation after reinstallation.
What Is Solar Detach and Reset?
Solar detach and reset refers to the temporary removal and later reinstallation of a solar power system. This service is often necessary when structural work, roof repairs, or home upgrades require clear access to the roof. It is not a simple matter of unbolting panels—it involves handling high-voltage systems, inverters, racking, and utility connections.
At SA Electrician, we coordinate with roofing contractors, homeowners, and utility companies to make sure the detach and reset process is done safely, efficiently, and in compliance with San Antonio electrical codes.
When Solar Detach and Reset Is Required
Property owners in San Antonio may need a detach and reset service in various situations. Understanding the circumstances where this service is appropriate can help avoid damage and maintain system performance.
Roof Replacement or Repair
If your home or building is undergoing a full roof replacement or major shingle or tile repair, solar panels must be temporarily removed to provide unobstructed access. We remove panels, rails, and mounts with care and reinstall them after the roof work is complete.
Solar System Upgrades
If you're upgrading your solar array with new panels, inverters, or racking systems, a full detach and reset may be part of the system overhaul. We assist in removing the current equipment and reinstalling upgraded components to maximize efficiency and compliance.
Home Renovation or Structural Additions
Home additions that affect rooflines or add second stories often require the repositioning of solar panels. We temporarily remove the system, help redesign the layout, and reinstall the array in a way that aligns with the new structure.
Insurance Claims and Storm Damage
Following hail or storm damage, insurers often require roof repairs before they’ll cover other losses. If your solar array is in place, it will likely need to be removed and reset post-repair. We provide documentation and safe reinstallation services as part of insurance-related work.
Our Solar Detach and Reset Process
SA Electrician follows a proven multi-step process for all solar detach and reset projects, ensuring safety, precision, and long-term performance.
System Documentation and Labeling
Before removal begins, we photograph and label each component of the system, including wiring, panel orientation, and inverter connections. This ensures the system is reinstalled exactly as it was—or better—after the structural work is complete.
Safe Panel and Equipment Removal
We disconnect the system from the utility grid, shut down the inverter, and remove all panels, rails, mounting hardware, and wiring. Components are safely stored on-site or in a secure location to prevent weather exposure or physical damage.
Coordination with Roofers and Contractors
We work directly with your roofing or general contractor to ensure the timing of panel removal and reinstallation aligns with their schedule. This prevents delays and avoids miscommunication during construction or repairs.
Panel Reinstallation and System Testing
Once roof work is complete, we reinstall the system with precision. Mounting hardware is secured to the roof structure, panels are reconnected to the array, and all wiring is tested for continuity and voltage. We then bring the system back online and verify full operation through your monitoring platform.
Final Inspection and Utility Reconnection
If local regulations require inspection after reset, we coordinate the scheduling with city inspectors and the utility provider. We ensure that all safety disconnects and grounding systems are in place before the system resumes feeding power to the grid.
